Exactly! Where did SRY get the audacity to say this?
Beats me. She's reminding him about his promise to his father, day in and day out. But didn't they think about that promise before framing an innocent woman for adultery, and as if that wasn't enough, SYR also killed her. So, here's the question; What good official kills his own wife for his grand ambition?
Exactly, does looking at her work? Without speaking his mind, his gaze is meaningless.
Exactly, even if the chance of approval is slim, confession is a great step itself, don't you agree? But he just wouldn't confess, all he does all day is stare at her. What, staring makes her love him back? Let him continue to stare at every lady he has feelings for, and he might just die being a bachelor.
even biden can become president. how a wife killer can't be good officer? he was force to do so due to pressure…
You must be from the US to mention Biden, right? Pressure from supreme power? He didn't just kill anyone, but his wife. Yes, pressure from supreme authority is irresistible, but you'll agree with me when I say; though supreme authority may appear irresistible, but with strong will its opposable, and can even be conquered with time. SYR became an official with his ability and the help of XFF, not because of the eldest princess. So, why didn't he resign and try to protect his wife to the best of his capability when he's asked to frame and kill her? Besides, it's not as if Wanning had no enemy, there's the emperor and Duke Su who are trying to take her down. So, why didn't he ally with the emperor so he could protect his wife he claimed to love so?
In 30 & 31 he doesn't say this. The emperor most probably will not be against their relationship. Even though…
Yes, you're right, if he considers XH has a true friend he won't be against his happiness. But if he's evil, twisted, and selfish, he'll be against it to the end. But I hope he supports their relationship cause I like his character.
Upon watching that scene, I had the same expression. He's actually jealous because they're SYR clothes. When JL and SYR performed together, even though it's pleasant to hear, he said their performance was unpleasant and terrible. He sure knows how to be jealous. He also make JL know he's jealous, not like YSJ who waste his time on meaningless gazes.
Exactly, does looking at her work? Without speaking his mind, his gaze is meaningless.
Yes, he had too many chances. But he wasted all those chances on meaningless stares. Does staring makes a girl fall for you? The duke on the other hand, is different, he doesn't waste his time with JL on meaningless stares, but walks the walk. YSJ has never confessed his feelings, nor did he hint JL of his feelings, what exactly is he trying to do?
"I'll be a good official and root out all the corrupt ones who oppress the people." But why do I feel SYR has become one of those corrupt and evil official? And his mother dared to say, "Don't forget your promise to your father." Hasn't he went back on those promise the moment he killed his wife?
"No matter what plans you make, don't get yourself caught up in them. You may have nothing to loose. But it doesn't mean I can afford it." Duke Su was obviously telling JL that, he can't afford to lose her, that he cares about her.
"If one goes against their conscience, no matter how many good deeds they do, they will face divine retribution." So, does that mean SYR is prepared for his divine retribution?
You flatter me pal, I was just writing about how great the drama is. And yes you're right, historical cdramas are mostly 40 episodes, or more because they're many holes to fill up plus, the character development.
This drama is one of the best I've watched in quite a while, when "story of kunning palace" completed airing, I thought I wouldn't be able to watch such interesting historical drama for a while, but just as those thoughts came to my mind, "The Double" began airing. It's such a blessing, this drama is such a "masterpiece", I can't seem to get enough of it. I wished it's more than 40 episodes, such captivating plot is rare to find. You're right, in most dramas, the FL might be too softhearted to carry out her revenge, and the ML will have to complete it for her. But Jiang Li is different, she's executing her plans for revenge excellently, she's taking a step at a time. And in her plans of revenge so far, she hasn't gone easy on any of her opponents, she's ruthless when necessary. You reminded me of the scene when she found out the one who's used to frame her father, I mean her biological father, the imprisoned "magistrate xue" that's soon going to be executed, the one who framed her father is the new magistrate. And to think, he used to be a guard who served under her father, but betrayed magistrat Xue because of his greed and lust for power. When Xue Fang Fei, now Jiang Li, learned how how her father is not dead, but imprisoned by the current magistrate, she and Xiao Heng uncovered the evil deeds of that magistrate. The magistrate tried to kill Jiang Li and Xiao Heng to cover up his atrocities, but his plans didn't succeed. Jiang Li and Xiao Heng broke into his residence with guards, and tried to arrest him, but he took Jiang Li's biological father as a hostage. But little did he know that the meat he had with his guards was poisoned.
Furthermore, as he was escaping with some of his guards while holding magistrate Xue as a hostage, archers were already lying in ambush, they took down all his guards, leaving only him and magistrate Xue. As he was about to hold the knife to magistrate Xue's neck who now has dementia, he felt nauseous and became weak. The knife he was holding dropped, and he was captured. Jiang Li and Xiao Heng arrived with the guards, but instead of him to beg and seek forgiveness from Jiang Li, the crooked magistrate was proud of his deeds, he even threatened them that they could do nothing about him, but only end up releasing him as he's backed by powerful officials and individuals that's they can't overpower.
He further added that, the ministry of justice will soon arrive to take Jiang Li's biological father away for execution, just as he was ranting, Jiang Li took the knife he pointed to her father's neck and began stabbing him. She beginned with his two hands, then his legs, she proceeded to stabbing what made him a man, as she was about to kill him Xiao Heng stopped her. Ruthless, right? Compared to other soft hearted FL, Jiang Li/Xue Fang Fei is no pushover and shouldn't be triffled with.
Yes, you are right, she's more audacious, scheming, intelligent, and ruthless when compared to Jiang Li. She used to be such a kindhearted soul, but being betrayed made her into what she is today. So, those who harmed her and the real Jiang Li are to be blamed. Shen Yu Rong never mistreated Xue Fang Fei, even when he met the eldest princess he didn't mistreat her, but his mother and sister never liked her. His mother and sister later framed her for adultery by slipping something into her drink, making her dizzy, when she woke up, she found another man with her. And at that moment, Shen Yu Rong's mother and sister entered. They tied her hands with chains, Yu Rong later came to free her. He took her in his carriage, and acted like he believed and didn't know about his mother and sister's evil deeds. Just as they're riding, he gave Fang Fei another water laced with something yet again, Fang Fei who trusted her husband and was oblivious to how he wanted to get rid of her drank it without hesitating. After drinking it, she slept, and as she woke up, she found herself inside the grave that's dug for her. So, she asked her "why she do you want to get rid of me, when you know I didn't commit adultery", Shen Yu Rong replied with "A'Li, I have no choice, the one who wants you dead can crush us as if we're ants. Close your eyes, it'll be over soon ", just as soon as he said that, he hit her with the shovel he was holding and buried her alive. What a despicable and hypocritical man, don't you agree? He never displayed any intentions of harming her, on the contrary, he was good to her. But who knew he would deem her less important than the Shen family reputation?
Yes, you're right Duke Su is indeed a great help to her in her journey of revenge, Duke Su has already fallen for her as per the recent episode, he's fallen for since the eleventh episode actually, although Jiang Li didn't show her feelings, she's also fallen for Duke Su. About your question on the second ML, he's the cousin of the real Jiang Li, who's now Jiang Li's cousin. Her maternal cousin to be precise, but he has also fallen for her. So, you are right when you called it a love triangle.
Yes, MDL users are blinded, cause if not goblin wouldn't be the top 1 most popular drama on MDL. In my opinion, descendants of the sun deserved to be the top 1 and not top 4 on MDL. I loved descendants of the sun that I didn't hesitate to give it a full 10. Descendants of the sun and the glory are not inferior to goblin if you ask me, especially descendants of the sun. I wonder why MDL users are not as reasonable as we are. Why is an average drama in top 1, and a "masterpiece" in top 4?
Yes, I guess I was influenced by you, to write lengthy comments. But really, if not for the drama I'm summarizing, my comments are not this lengthy. Besides pal, I'm already used to your lengthy replies and reviews. You should definitely give it a try, you might love it as much as you loved wonderful world. So, will you give it a try? You shouldn't miss such captivating drama!!
I don't quite agree with you, I'm still sticking with my opinion about how it's an overrated drama, but will rewatch it so I won't be too "judgy". But I doubt rewatching will change my mind, but will do so regardless. About marry my husband and queen of tears, they're interesting shows, but queen of tears fell off in second half, marry my husband was quite different though. Overall, both were interesting dramas, but I'd recommend you watch marry my husband first.
In 30 & 31 he doesn't say this. The emperor most probably will not be against their relationship. Even though…
He wants to secure his reign while disregarding his friends "XH" feelings? No good friends does that. Yes, saving the nation is paramount, but it doesn't mean the one who saves it has to be a robot with no emotions, does it? Isn't the emperor, basically telling XH to become a robot by telling him not to have emotions and feelings? You must have heard this saying; "Every successful man has a woman backing him up". JL is not hindering their plans, instead, she's the one executing most of them. So, the emperor had better drop the idea of being against their relationship.
In 30 & 31 he doesn't say this. The emperor most probably will not be against their relationship. Even though…
He had no choice? I don't think so, who do you think has more power? The late emperor's consort, or the current emperor's consort? I believe the answer is quite clear, taking her as his consort means he's giving her more power. If he wasn't swayed by emotions, then what made him take such decision? Yes, you are right, all we have at the moment are speculations. But I had better be wrong about the emperor's feelings for consort Li. If he loves consort Li and he tells XH to control his emotions, then he's a selfish person.
But he just wouldn't confess, all he does all day is stare at her. What, staring makes her love him back? Let him continue to stare at every lady he has feelings for, and he might just die being a bachelor.
